How might one acquire such onions?
You grow them... in soils without sulfuric compounds...
Do people read anymore? /s
Search for sweet onion farms in your country. They are rarely available in the shops.
So why do they foam them then?
To make jams and other condiments.
Huh. There's sweet onions for sale whenever I go to Kroger
I don't know what kroger is, but good for you!
It's the largest geocery store chain in the US
They go by different names in different regions as well. Here in Utah, they're called Smith's. Where I grew up in the PNW, they were called Fred Meyer. The name Kroger seems to be more of a midwest/east coast name for them.
Try 'Walla walla' or red onions
I never use white onions when cooking 🤢
Red onions are definitely not sweet and they definitely taste oniony.
I have eaten plenty of pungent red onions, I don't think the color is enough to tell.
Pungent onions, cooked, are much sweeter and more flavorful than sweet onions cooked.
Sweet onions are fantastic raw, but should be called Mild Onions instead.
White onion for cooking, sweet onion for raw, red onion splits the difference, but red onion quick pickle is better than any other onion pickles.
Any onion can be sweet.
